Try NAPA. Alternatively, try Eastwood - they are a restoration company, and
I think I saw a tester in their latest catalog. I think it's eastwoodco.com
or something similar.

Thank you Mike!
http://www.eastwoodco.com has it. Item 46134 and 46134 A (test fluid only).
"COMBUSTION LEAK TEST KIT/FLUID"

I wonder if I can make the "test tube" myself and only buy the fluid. I imagine
that I could just take the overflow tube from my overflow bottle and put it into
a container with the test fluid. I suppose that the exhaust gasses will find
their way out, if any.
